A MOTHER says she cannot express enough gratitude to two local bobbies who she says saved her tot's life.

When Karen Mackay's two-year-old son, Jordan, fell over and went into a fit on Sunday afternoon she didn't know what to do.

"I was outside when my husband came running out with the baby," she said.

"He'd fallen over and knocked himself out and he had blue lips and his eyes were rolled back. He was limp, but still fitting."

"I was scared because nothing like that has ever happened before and my phone wouldn't switch on to phone an ambulance.

"Then I remembered I'd seen two police officers on the street. I started shouting and one of the officers ran back and took Jordan in the front room.

"The other one came in as well and between them they managed to bring him round. One of them was holding him and patting his back and the other one was holding his tongue down. They gave him a big hard pat on his back and he brought all this stuff up.

"One of the policemen had a bite mark on his hand, because Jordan must have bit him when he came round."

Karen, 24, of Underwood Road, Hattersley, says she doesn't know what would have happened had PCs Jed Riley and John Fitzgerald not have helped.

"The ambulance crew said it was lucky they were there or he would have been dead. I can't thank these two policemen enough, I really owe them," she added.
